Since the vertex is at the origin and the parabola opens downward, the equation of the parabola is x2 = 4py, where p < 0, and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis. So the focus is at y-axis at (0, p) and the directrix equation is y = -p.
Now, what do you mean with 1 and 76 units? 1.76 units?
If the distance of the vertex and the focus is 1.76 units, then p = -1.76, thus 4p = -7.04, then the equation of the parabola is x2 = -7.04y.
To find the vertex of a quadratic equation in standard form, (y = ax^2 + bx + c), you can use the vertex formula. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by (x = -\frac{b}{2a}). Once you have the x-coordinate, substitute it back into the equation to find the corresponding y-coordinate. The vertex is then the point ((-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a}))).

Assuming the vertex is 0,0 and the directrix is y=4 x^2=0
The vertex is at the origin of coordinates ... the point (0, 0).
The vertex is the origin, (0,0).

The difference between standard form and vertex form is the standard form gives the coefficients(a,b,c) of the different powers of x. The vertex form gives the vertex 9hk) of the parabola as part of the equation.
The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y

The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
Assuming the vertex is 0,0 and the directrix is y=4 x^2=0
In the equation y x-5 2 plus 16 the standard form of the equation is 13. You find the answer to this by finding the value of X.
look for the interceptions add these and divide it by 2 (that's the x vertex) for the yvertex you just have to fill in the x(vertex) however you can also use the formula -(b/2a)
The vertex form for a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)^2+k.

The vertex must be half way between the two x intercepts
